Garden Installs
Together We Can Improve Our Local Environment By reducing turf grass and adding native perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees, we work to improve local ecology! Native-focused garden installs refer to the practice of creating a garden or landscaping area that primarily features plants that are native to the local ecosystem. These plants are typically better adapted to the local climate and soil conditions and can provide benefits such as supporting local wildlife and reducing the need for additional water and maintenance. Sustainable Land Solutions are the experts in native garden installation and maintenance. We service your gardens using only natural/organic mulches and/or top dressings. We offer a seasonal maintenance program to keep your gardens in tip-top shape year-round! From seasonally appropriate pruning to regular hedging, we keep your perennials, shrubs, and small trees well-maintained! From hardwood mulch installation to mulching the leaves around your property, we keep your gardens covered all year round! Our Garden Maintenance program works best when combined with our Eco-Friendly Lawn Maintenance program!

Organic Fertilizing
Thank you for taking the time to check out our Organic Lawn Fertilizer program! Our program is designed to build soil health from the top down using OMRI Listed Organic Fertilizers. OMRI Listed simply means that the products have been tested and approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute for use in certified organic operations under the USDA National Organic Program. Premium Add-ons: Double Clean Air Core Aeration Dethatching Top Dressing Kentucky BlueGrass Overseeding What’s the biggest difference between our Organic Fertilizer program and other fertilizer program options? NO PESTICIDES! Our goal is to build soil health, not destroy it with commonly used herbicides, fungicides, miticides, or biocides. Regardless of whether a pesticide is organic or not, it is still killing something, which always affects ecology negatively. NO SYNTHETICS! Synthetic fertilizers, including those that are listed as “Natural-Organic” are harmful to your soil, pets, and children. More often than not, these synthetic materials leach into storm water management systems. This creates algae build up and blooms, kills off aquatic life, and requires a lot of coal derived energy to clean and use as drinking water. These non-organic fertilizers often will leave a sludge or oil film on your lawn during rainy weather. OMRI Listed! Our fertilizer blends primarily contain feather meal, kelp meal, and blood meal. These ingredients are safe for you, children, and pets to walk on right after application. No more hiding inside while harmful pesticides are being applied! No more hours of waiting for residues to dry to utilize your own lawn. No more threats of cancer and asthma due to unsafe applications. So what about lawn weeds? Most “weeds” in lawns are beneficial plants! They’re also symptoms of what’s going on in the soil biology. For example, common clover is typically found in soils that are nitrogen deficient. This beneficial plant has nodes on its roots that release more nitrogen into the soil than it takes up, making it an excellent soil nitrogen fixer! It was common before the early 1960’s for every blend of grass seed to have about 5% of clover seed in it as well. Clover is also a wonderful source of pollen for our all important bees. Another common weed is Wild Violet. Violet’s are a great ground cover that is native to our region! They are host plants for sweat bees (Halictidae), which are a specialist native pollinator to the Wild Violets. When it comes to violets in lawns, we see them as wonderful additions to add beautiful color in spring and fall. One last example of a misunderstood lawn plant are Dandelions. Dandelions are clear indications of two major soil conditions; low calcium and soil compaction. They send out a thick tap root, which goes deep into the soil and alleviates soil compaction. This allows deeper water penetration and better moisture retaining capacity. How do we lower the number of “weeds” in your lawn? By optimizing the soil nutrients, and using only the best lawn maintenance practices, we are able to create a beautiful thick lawn with a high turf canopy. This keeps your soil cool, hydrated, and helps prevent weed […]
